Summer weather is here in Florida and there’s only one place I head to get my toddler dressed and ready for the heat – The Children’s Place! They have rolled out their fashionable summer looks early to help you get ready for you’re busy summer. Whether your kids are going to camp, beach, the pool or you are headed on a fantastic family vacation, The Children’s Place has you covered. As I browsed the racks to check out the styles, the theme this summer was color! Bright, fun and festive colors along with some great patterns for your ever-so-hip boys…
5 People To Avoid While Pregnant
1Now that I am expecting my second daughter this August, I seemed to have conveniently forgot about the little annoyances of being pregnant. Aside from your usual’s, ie: morning sickness, prenatal horse pills, snoring and frequent peeing, I seemed to have blocked out all the crazy encounters that occur while preggo. Yes, I am talking about the complete strangers (and sometimes not) that go out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable, awkward and want to run for the hills. You might think this is my negative “I hate people” attitude, because most of the times, these people don’t…
Tales of the Cursing Toddler
0For anyone who has been in my company can attest to the fact that I have quite the sailor mouth. Might not be the classiest thing about me, but it just comes out way too naturally. Everyone keeps telling me I have to cool it with the curses because I have a toddler who is quickly turning into a parrot. I just yeah’d them to death and continued on my way. So yesterday when my toddler dropped one of her toys and yelled out, “Oh, F#$%!” is when I took everyone’s statement a little more seriously. Not only did she…

0Vote For Ava! Yes, I am shamelessly plugging a contest my daughter is in. I have zero shame!

Finding The Bully In The Crowd…and Her Texting Mom
0At our local mall, they have a great tot lot that my daughter LOVES! They have these crazy things she can climb on, a slide (her favorite, of course) and a spongy, bouncy floor. On rainy or yucky days when the park won’t do, this is are go to. I brought her there yesterday just to get out of the house and that’s where we encountered our first bully. Here in Florida, all the kids are on spring break so the tot lot was a mad house! Jammed packed with kids running, jumping, pretty much doing any and everything with…
Alternative Easter Basket Ideas
0Easter is approaching quickly and if you walk into any store you are immediately greeted with rows and rows of sugary candy and stuffed animals. Bunny overload! Your typical Easter baskets usually are filled to the brim with chocolate bunnies and eggs, jelly beans, and marshmellow-y goodies. Believe me, there is nothing wrong with some sugar (said the pregnant lady!) but if you want to stay clear from all the junky foods this year, here are a few alternative ideas that will make the Easter Bunny look great. The last thing we need this Sunday is the holiday sugar rush…
Getting Your Toddler To Do Your Housework
0Lets face it, housework and chores are a pain in the ass, but we have to do. Otherwise we’d all be on that show “Hoarders”. I hate doing it and I really shouldn’t since I am a stay-at-home-mom. But cleaning, vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, laundry is just the absolute worst. This may or may not be considered child labor but my toddler loves doing chores. I don’t know if its because she thinks its a game or the fact she usually gets a special treat after helping but lately I have been letting her help me with all my daily and…
Daydream Toy Doodle-Track Car Review!
0Is it normal for a toddler girl to be infatuated with toy cars? I think so! I know I used to have a little collection of Matchbox cars – along with all my dolls and Barbies When DayDream Toy sent me their best selling Doodle-Track Car, both my little one and I were super excited. You can draw your own track or print out some really cool designs on their website for the red car to race around. Little did I know there was more to this sweet looking car than meets the eye. Using its special marker, you can…
Don’t Forget Your Shades This Fall!
0Even though the cooler weather has taken over most parts of the U.S. – yes, even down here in Florida its gotten down to the 70’s – we have taken our family fun from the pools and beach to the parks and fields. The sun is still blazing and those dangerous UV rays can still do damage to your kiddos eyes. So parents-we need to be prepared with the right sun glasses for all the fun fall activities we are participating in – apple picking, soccer, football, picnics, swings – protecting your families eye health should be on the top…
